Somewhere along they way one of us had the idea to hike the mountain when we got there, and ride down
We got to the mountain about 3 and hiked about half a mile or so up the mountain (which turned out to be a blue run...pretty steep). After almost dying on the way up from the hike and lack f oxygen (I gained a whole new respect for people that climb Everest...and this was only 10,000 feet), we finally got to a spot where we would strap into our boards
That was probably the coolest run I have ever done...down the mountain only lite up by the moon...definitely worth the hike
We got to the truck about 4 and tried sleeping in the bed (it was ten degrees outside, but I didn't actually get cold) but it was comfortable at all...so we tried sleeping in the tiny cab, which wasn't much more comfortable
I think I ended up falling asleep at 5:30 or 6, and woke up at 7:30...not a lot of sleep for a whole day of snowboarding ahead
Anyways, the snowboarding was awesome...I can tell I get better every time I go, I can't wait to go again
(Here's the view from one of the chairlifts; you can't really see it, but in the distance is the Grand Canyon...pretty sweet)
Peace

That sounds pretty sweet.
I wish I caould go snowboarding more often. It's usually too cold here, plenty of snow, but the cold keeps me at home.
That does sound like fun! Except for the cold part. :)
